Using markings for data limiting
A visualization can be configured to show only data that has been marked in another visualization or visualizations, or even show only data that has been marked within the visualization itself. That is, the configured visualization will be based on a limited amount of data, determined by what is currently marked in the limiting visualizations.
About this task
The example data table contains nutrition data:

Limit data to intersection of marked items
In a type of diet it is recommended to eat food with low carbohydrate values and high fat values. To identify these food items, the bar charts below are created. In the top bar chart, food items with the lowest carbohydrates values are marked using Marking A, and in the bottom bar chart, food items with the highest fat values are marked with Marking B.
About this task


Assume you wish to identify food items with low carbohydrate and
high fat values. Simply create another bar chart, and make the settings shown
below in its
Data settings.


That is, make sure both Marking A and Marking B are selected under
Data limiting, and, next to
Settings for limiting markings, choose the
All markings (AND) option to get the
intersection of the items marked in the two bar charts. Among all food items,
the items below are the ones that fulfill both the criteria:


Limit data to union of marked items
About this task
If you are instead interested in identifying food items fulfilling
at least one of the criteria, that is, items with either low carbohydrate or
high fat values, change
